Please help - dog related

[doglover7]

Hoping people will respond, I feel very stuck and sick with nerves.

I love dogs, we rescued my best friend 18 months ago and love it. But we are in a tiny 2 bed flat with no garden. So we have been trying to move all this time and have finally exchanged, we complete next week.

A dog became available after its adopters cancelled on it. A 7 year old who spent a long time on the streets. We made it clear we wanted her but couldn't take her until end of March which was agreed. Fosterer seemed unhappy but went along with it.

I've now been told to take her Saturday or that's it and I've also received some horrible messages claiming that I don't care for the dog as I didn't ask for constant updates (was scared to bother her) and that I've used her as free dog care.
She is a volunteer, likewise for the same company I volunteer every week now for 18 months.

The reason I can't get her Saturday as DP is the driver and has coronavirus.. I said it's a risk and it'll coincide with him being better (albeit contagious) to drive us to pick up the dog and we will have our house with the garden.

I don't know what to do. I feel so alone!

Update: people are so so kind.

A dog group I'm part of has agreed to look after her for 5 days.

The charity has found someone to pick her up because they don't feel comfortable with me spreading the disease (DUH)

Thank god this will hopefully be sorted

I hope so - with a confirmed case in the house you cannot even think of going out, let alone for a dog.

I remind everyone of what happened before WW2. No, it isn't nice, but a lot of this isn't nice. People first.

flame away until you have to choose between your loved ones and a pet. And it may come to that as it has for the OP.

With her logic of getting someone who is potentially infected to come round to her flat to pick a dog up so she can go on holiday even if it is in the UK I worry about the future of mankind

@millerjane how lovely you are!
